The Rise of Ming Dynasty 1646

Chapter 682
Gan Hui took advantage of the situation and immediately followed Chitat's men, and led his troops to use bayonets to push back the sporadic captives who dared to resist, and soon joined Yu Xin's main force.

"Reinforcements! They are our reinforcements!"

"It's General Gan, we're saved now!"

"Brother, have people from all walks of life gathered around?"

"Reinforcements have arrived, everyone hold on, don't teach the captives to run halfway!"

Although only [-] dragoons arrived, it was like a shot of stimulant to Yu Xin's troops who were struggling to support, and the arms that could barely lift were full of strength at the moment.

On the other hand, Gong Adai's soldiers and horses failed to defeat the Dragon Guards for a long time despite the numerical superiority, and had already begun to show a large area of ​​anxiety.

Coupled with the turmoil of the rout of the Qitate troops, there was a lot of confusion in the Zhenghuangqi formation, which eased the pressure on the east side of the Ming army's infantry line.

Shi Lin led the dragoon battalion to the north side, and was observing where to return to Zhu Linmi's side for protection, when he saw two red signal flares rising from the Ming army's position on the northwest side.

It turned out that Yu Xin was already struggling on the right wing of the infantry line, and when he learned that reinforcements had arrived, he hurriedly sent signal flares for emergency.

Shi Lin glanced at the direction where the Son of Heaven was, and frowned. He had been following Zhu Linmi all the time, so how could he not know the importance of the Battle of Ximing Mountain.If the captives could not be stopped here, Duoduo's main force would be able to flee northward, and the encirclement plan that the Holy Majesty had painstakingly set up would be in vain.

Although there is a second direction of the Zhejiang Army and the Gan Army further north, he knows very well that he must not place his hope on the troops stationed in these places.If you ignore the warning and just go back to escort the driver, the Holy One will definitely blame himself...

"General," a lieutenant-general of Yulin cupped his hands and said, "Where are we going?"

Shi Lin gritted his teeth, and ordered: "You take 200 people and the Lancers back to escort, and I will go west to reinforce!"

"Yes!"

In fact, Shi Lin had thought about it carefully. There were more than 4000 people in Dengshan guarding the Son of Heaven.Moreover, the Ming army in the direction of Mashan and Darenshan will arrive soon, so there should be no worries.

Immediately he waved his sword and shouted: "First, second, third, and fifth companies, follow me to help General Yu!" He clamped his horse's belly hard again, and led his troops to go west.

Duoduo originally planned to lead the Ba Yala guards to attack Yu Xin's right wing, but he was shocked to hear the sound of thunder-like firecrackers behind him. Looking up, he saw Han Daxun's three thousand Guan Ning soldiers in the rear were constantly retreating, It seems that it will collapse in a moment.

"Could it be the reinforcements from the south, why did they come so fast?!" His eyelids twitched, thinking to himself, I left tens of thousands of horses everywhere, and I didn't even stop them for half a day? !

He looked again at the place where the Ming army's battle formation had been breached. Although the gap was barely blocked by the southerners, the formation looked very messy, which was its weakest point.

The Ming army on the north side must be repelled immediately, otherwise, when Han Daxun is defeated, the enemy troops from the south will swarm in, and his army will be surrounded to death here!

He anxiously said to the officer beside him: "Let Zu Runze reinforce the rear army!" Then he pointed his whip at the right wing of the Ming army and shouted: "All the guards come with me!"

The seven hundred Ba Yala soldiers were about to leave when they heard the sound of rumbling horseshoes on the east side. Two cavalrymen panicked and reported, "General, the enemy is attacking on the east side, at least six or seven hundred horsemen!"

"Why are there southern troops everywhere?" Duoduo felt miserable, so he had to order again, "Form an army to the east to defend against the enemy!"

Shi Lin led the [-] imperial battalion troops and had just galloped for less than a mile, when there was a flash of fire in the dusty sky on the west side, and even a dozen soldiers were hit by the firecrackers.

The enemy and us were already getting mixed up, so Shi Lin immediately leaned over and raised his sword, shouting, "Move forward quickly! Get ready to meet the enemy!"

The adjutant next to him suddenly pointed to a big banner not far away, "General, that seems to be the flag of the captive chief Duduo!"

Shi Lin squinted his eyes and saw a white embroidered dragon flag raised extremely high. He couldn't help being overjoyed, "If this guy can be dealt with, the crisis in Xi Mingshan will be solved immediately!"

Thinking of this, he turned the reins of the horse, passed in front of Duoduo's formation, turned around and ran for about three hundred steps, raised his hand and said, "The soldiers of the imperial camp dismounted and formed an infantry line!"

If you want to reinforce Yu Xin, then it is most appropriate to charge through the enemy's formation with a horse, but it is difficult for cavalry swords to kill the enemy quickly.Arranging in a line array and firing a volley of rifled guns can destroy the guards around Doduo as quickly as possible, and wait for the opportunity to kill the enemy chieftain.

Duoduo saw a group of Ming army cavalry flash past, and did not reappear for a while, thinking that his newly equipped flintlock had scared them away.

He was about to lead people to attack Yu Xin again, but he heard the herald beside him say in shock: "General, look!"

He turned his head to look at what the man was pointing at, and saw a group of people and horses in the dust and gunpowder smoke on the east side, and immediately heard a chorus from there, "Aim!"

"put!"

The Ba Yala guards in the front row were immediately ejected by Mini and overturned 40 people. Duoduo hurriedly ordered, "Fire the gun! Hit me!"

His guards immediately raised their guns to fight back, but with a similar number of people, how could the Qing army's flintlocks be the opponent of rifled guns?
The imperial battalion of the Ming army fired three shots, and Duoduo's company hadn't loaded the ammunition for the second shot—the heavy-duty firecrackers were too bulky, and it took a lot of time to set up the brackets before firing.This is still the elite Baya La soldiers with Xiangbai Banner, if it is replaced by other Qing troops, the speed will be even slower.

In addition, the shooting accuracy of the two sides was several grades worse, and the rifled guns could kill more than 30 people every time they fired.On Jianlu's side, it depends entirely on fate. If you are lucky, you can hit more than a dozen people. When you are unlucky, you can hit two or three people.

So after seven or eight rounds of shooting, Duoduo's guards showed signs of being unable to hold on, and gaps were shot in several places in the phalanx, and the soldiers behind hesitated to step forward.

Shi Lin ordered loudly, "Ten steps forward!"

The soldiers of the Ming army repeated the Ming army and stopped in Duoduo's ears, but they felt that the god of death was getting closer.He knew in his heart that if he died, he would lose everything, so he hurriedly dragged the herald past him, and said urgently: "Let Gong Adai divide his troops to help me!"

"Whoo!"

The herald led people to look for Gong Adai, and along the way they encountered hundreds of Rakshasa soldiers attacking more than a dozen cannons with iron shields.He didn't care too much, and hurriedly shouted to the interpreter: "Hurry up to reinforce the Chinese army! The general is under attack!"

Seeing that Vlajik was about to break through the defense line of these difficult Ming army artillery, he had no choice but to call the remaining [-] mercenaries to turn south.

Chen Xiongfei led the last more than 140 artillerymen to form a circle with 25 Flang cannons, and used only [-] firecrackers to shoot outwards for defense.Another thirty or forty soldiers picked up the axes of the Raksha people and were hacking at the enemy soldiers who were about to cross the "wall" of the gun shield.

But very unexpectedly, the Raksha people suddenly sounded their horns, and then retreated in a hurry.

Chen Xiongfei waited for a while, seeing that the enemy was not deceiving him, he couldn't help laughing, "It must be reinforcements from all walks of life! Brothers, set up the cannons and avenge the dead Paoze!"

The artillerymen were all overjoyed, gathered the scattered ammunition from all around, adjusted the shooting elements, and as Cheng Xiongfei swung down the rolling blade in Cheng Xiongfei's hand, all the artillery commanders shouted together, "Let it go!"

Thirteen shells pierced into Gong Adai's battle formation with a sharp roar.The captive soldiers, who were advancing step by step proudly, fired heavy artillery at such a close distance, as if being punched left by an invisible giant. More than 40 people on the flank were killed on the spot, and their flesh and blood spurted out far away.More than a dozen people were seriously injured, howling and rolling on the ground.

All the Zhenghuang Banner soldiers looked sideways in horror, and the weapons in their hands suddenly slowed down.
